I’m in a long-distance relationship and feeling really drained. Tonight, a small disagreement turned into my bf giving me cold, one-word answers.

I tried to be vulnerable and explained that I have triggers for certain media due to past trauma/PTSD. I even told him "I wish I wasn't like this." His only response was a dismissive: "It's fine."

He is always like this when I try to talk about deep or personal things. I ended up apologizing for "overexplaining," but now I’m just hurt and can’t sleep. I have to leave in an hour to visit my brother in the hospital and I feel completely unsupported.

Is this just a bad communication style, or is it a sign he doesn't care about my emotional needs?
